First published in 1887, this is a timeless, practical guide to building long-lasting fences, gates, hedges, bridges, and culverts. It boasts a wealth of information on building such fences as rail, composite, garden, board, and picket varieties, as well as setting posts and installing gates and latches, including self-closing, swinging, and double-latched. Here too is advice on building bridges for gullies and culverts, as well as decorative bridges for a pond.
